We really don’t like the thought of wearing jewellery that punctures our skin

Naomi Kizhner has created a range of accessories that she claims can turn your body into a living battery – as long as you let them puncture your skin. Which isn’t freaky at all.

The Israeli designer dreamed up her Energy Addicts range as a graduate project and hopes it will provide a new perspective in the conversations around renewable energy.

The basic premise is that the jewellery is inserted into the wearer’s veins (gulp), then their movements and continuous flow of blood turn a wheel inside the design, creating enough kinetic energy to produce electricity.

Naomi says: ‘There are lots of developments of renewable energy resources, but the human body is a natural resource for energy that is constantly renewed, as long as we are alive.

‘I wanted to explore the post-humanistic approach that sees the human body as a resource… Will we be willing to sacrifice our bodies in order to produce more energy? My intention is to provoke a discussion.’

Once the statement jewellery pieces have collected enough energy, you can use it to charge your mobile devices or LED lights, apparently.
